Party Menu & Ideas

Create simple, but stylish, inexpensive party food at home!!

I frequently get calls from my friends with the same question "im planning for a party at home. What can i make without spending much time and money?". So i decided to add a page on my blog which can help my readers to plan according to their occasion. These party-perfect ideas are sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests.

If it is an anniversary / Valentine's day party, click here for details.

Below i am giving the sample of my favorite recipes for your special event. As it is not a daily dinner / Lunch, its very important to do the table setting and decide the menu. You can decorate your table with Fresh flowers / Fruits / Candles. Place the Napkins, plates, cutlery in their place. Keep separate glasses for water and drinks. You can create a 5 course or 7 course menu with minimum efforts if you plan ahead.

Plan the Menu : 1. There should be one or two Starter / Appetizer to start the party which you can serve with drinks. One can be vegetarian and one non vegetarian starter / Appetizers. 2. Add a salad / Pickled Cucumbers / Pickled baby radishes / Sauteed vegetables / Roasted Potato wedges as a side dish along with each of your starter. 3. Party drink is very important. You can buy store bought juices / Lemonade / Ginger lemonade / Smoothies / Cocktails / Mock-tails as party drink. 4. If it is a 4 -5 hour party you can add soup in the Menu. If it is a 2-3 hour party it is better not to do soup and fill our guests before starting the Entree 5. Entree / Main course is our star of the day. So plan ahead and decide it. If it is fried rice , you can chop all veggies and cook rice on previous day. If it is pizza party, you can make base on previous day and refrigerate it. 6. Dessert - My favorite part. If you are making a complex Entree, its better to make dessert on previous day. If it is a brownie / Cupcake you can make and store it well in advance.

It was another joy to see your post. It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues. Great stuff as usual...Envios Maritmos a Venezuela
